I'm not signing up for 'doing something' if that 'something' is the wrong thing to have done.

Our government is already spending $4 billion yearly to scientists to prove/disprove global warming. That's alot.
By preventive measures, I mean emissions control which automakers would incur, not the government. Alternative fuels, which our government is already giving incentives/tax breaks for that. Industries would bear the cost of emissions, not the taxpayer, unless you considered the incentives/tax breaks for doing these things, which we are already do NOW. Stronger industry regulations.
